Thanks, man!

I just used lemon oil with a few cotton tips.

It's funny, how something so simple and obvious gets away from me. That's why I love this place. Ever since I used Howard's Feed n Wax on my Thumb NT fretboard, I had little areas of white where the wax dried in the grain of the wenge. I tried cleaning it with lemon oil and a polish cloth, but when the oil dried, the wax was still there.

I've used cotton tips for all kinds of things, but it never occurred to me to use them on my fingerboard. I just finished cleaning the Thumb NT fingerboard with lemon oil and Q-tips and WOW - the cotton gets down in the grain and it cleaned up nicely!

Thanks for reminding me of the simple things in life that handle the big jobs!

I don't think I'm a great fan of MEC pups and electronics though. Not going into details now, I'm thinking about swapping it for passive BassLines Quarterpounders and passive controls 2V, 2T. What do you think?

Well, I love MEC pickups but I find their active EQs to be hissy compared to others.

That said, I'm still swapping out my pups for passive noisefree Bartolini pups and tossing the active EQ for a passive Vol, Balance, and two Tone controls (one for each pup), so I have to agree with your decision!

oh yes, Vol, Bal, 2xTone would be even nicer! I love Balance pot (as compared to two Volume ones)!

A lot of bass players like two volumes because you get more output from each pickup when both are on, but I like a balance and single volume so that I can turn up or down with a quick turn of the knob.

The separate tones are Florin's idea. They will allow greater tonal versatility. One example is to cut the highs on the neck pickup, while keeping the tone up on the bridge, then blend them with the balance knob. Cool idea!

You have definitely done a good job and have been rewarded in looks and tone for your caring touch!

Thanks man!
I really appreciate this comment!

You're welcome!

You may not know, but you already helped me a lot!
Thank you for that!

Is that a switch next to the bass knob on the fretted SS2?

wow, you have good eyes
yup, that's a switch the pervious owner put in when he installed line6 pickups and electronic.

I have re-installed the orginal pickups and electronic after I got the bass, and just left the switch there.

 

[herb vibes]

very nice! where is the 5er?

 

[babebambi]

very nice! where is the 5er?

5er at the shop for setup.
the ex-owner may buy it back from me thou, will see.

still i will take some photo of that sweet bass when i get it back from shop

 

[Andy V.]

Very nice basses, babebambi.

Congrats!

 

[babebambi]

:shock: I like, I like

I was looking at the photo at first without reading the text, and wonder why the fb was done a little differently and thought it is kinda cool , he he

I bought a '93 Streamer Stage I which was later made fretless. I guess that makes me member of the Streamer club doesnt it?

 

[babebambi]

I... want... that streamer...

 

[Tv IV Dogs]

Nice one Andy! That 93 streamer bolt on is an absolue gem, and looks alarmingly like the big 5 string brother of my wonderstick!!!

I've had it eight years now, and I'm still finding myself amazed at the things it does.

Congrats again on finding it, and I hope its as good to you as mine's been to me!

Hehe...and leaving the rick on the floor next to the stand just makes it all the more clear who wears the pants in that relationship
